Project title: DETECTING BIRDS AND DRIVING THEM AWAY FROM AIRFIELD RUNWAYS

Company name : MAGNA B.S.P. LTD.

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
Computerization

KEY WORDS
Bird Strike Prevention, Bird
Collision. Hazard Detection

PROJECT SUMMARY
The aim of the project is to develop a system to detect birds and
other animals on, or above airport runways, and to operate means
for driving them away, thus preventing danger to human life and
property. The system connects day- and night-time cameras,
installed near the runways, to a computer designed to
continuously analyze the transmitted pictures. As soon as the
cameras record a bird, the computer automatically detects it, and
a warning is issued to the operators, and/or flight controllers.
A team for removing such potential causes of damage, which today
operates at random or upon reports from human observers, would
now focus on trouble spots located by the system. The system will
greatly reduce economic losses caused by birds colliding with
aircraft, and will provide an efficient solution to a well known
and severe international problem.

ADVANTAGES
Relatively simple development (due to the use of off-the-shelf
components),
control over the whole field from a single work station,
automatic detection of a foreign body in real time,
improved efficiency of the removal team,
debriefing ability,
good cost/benefit ratio.
